Just to add to the record, I have seen this to also be part
of the effects of a broken SCSI drive, apparently with the drive's
electronics gone stale.  Sometimes just a massive stream of the
above microuptime()... messages whenever the disk was accessed,
and after some time (but not always) followed by a total lockup
with a bus reset every second (but sometimes just thousands of
microuptime() messages, system was going normal apart from that,
except for time+date and the logfile filling, of course.)
Removing the drive fixed that.
